Not going to be as big a pushover as we all think...Brodeur will have a shakey series, Elias will have a big series...i see bernier scoring a huge goal somewhere hmmm. We'll prob lose a bad one in OT as usual. All in all Devs in 6

^7^ is just defending his sport sheeps.. as Alcibiades the exiled Athenian rationalizes in his speech to the enemy Spartans, he wants to take revenge on Athens because he loves it and can't stand to see the state it's in now - Triumph

i am predicting Devils in 6 but i think it will be scary - i can see clemmer having some very good games but i'd like to think the way the devils have been playing should be able to carry over. i expect to see 15-26-8 on versteeg but we'll see, i guess.

If we can't beat Florida, it's sad. The Devils are a deeper, better hockey team up front, and it's not even close. Florida's D is dangerous though, they bring more offense from the back end than our D. Not that it'll be easy, but I expect them to win this series. Devils in 6.

I'm certainly not an expert on the Panthers, but I feel like there are two things (and pretty much only two things) the Devils need to do to win:

1. Shut down whatever line that long-haired a$$hole Versteeg is on (I imagine he'll probably be on with Fleischmann and/or Weiss). Because that's the only dangerous line the Panthers will have in the series, imo

2. Prevent Garrison from getting any big shots through.

3. Score early and often on Clemmensen and don't let him become a factor.

Probably the only possible matchup where we know the NHL wants us to win.. Bad calls will still be blamed on NHL wanting a small market team to go all the way (standard protocol) but I really think we have league support on this one, and that's all that matters in the playoffs

"The $297,297 Kovalchuk missed today is money he will never, ever get back. And the more cheques he misses, the better the deal is going to have to be for the players to justify him sitting out. And unlike the owners, the players can direct their leadership to get a deal done regardless of how disadvantageous it is to them."

Well, yeah. I'm lumping all losses together though for the effect. I feel like it's too easy to look at a team's record when they're 38-26-18 and say "ah, not bad" when in reality, they've lost more games than they've won. "NHL .500" drives me nuts that way - a team that's well below actual .500 can still be a good team record-wise at first glance.
